4. Students are designing an experiment to model the transfer of heat from the sun to the Earth. What must the students consider in their design to represent this form
of energy transfer?
A. The Sun is a ball of fire therefore the students must use fire to represent the heat
source.
B. Heat from the Sun travels through space therefore the students will need a vacuum
chamber to demonstrate this form of heat transfer.
C. Heat transfer from the Sun to the Earth requires the students to model convection
since the heat travels through our atmosphere.
D. Heat from the Sun travels to the Earth via conduction and convection as the Earth is
comprised of solids, liquids, and gases.
